Opinion Sack Hinkley 11 - Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest

[Palpatine_Power]

It's over. We had to win vs Gold Coast to keep ourselves alive and we f'd it up.

Go look at the draw or play around with the ladder predictor. We are stuffed.

100%

Hence why we choked like a $2 strumpet.

Yeah, it’s pretty funny reading certain Port Twitterati try to massage the Suns game with attempts at bigger picture optimism, as if that trash-heap performance wasn’t as predictable as the cycles of the moon.

How anybody could sit through 2017-2019 and think Hinkley is a genuine asset capable of climbing the mountain will baffle me forever.

North Terrace Purple sounds like someone crackin’ a fat at The Firm.

I don't even want to make finals any more we won't do f*$k all anyway so sick of the same sh*t every year
but I am looking forward to bombing out and seeing that fraud walk the plank it has to happen he can not be given another year so relax sit back and watch the show !!! Tick tock Kenny

 

[longdonkey]

He suffered the injury on Sunday. Nothing to do with his lack of interest/effort in previous games.

I don't want to make a big deal out of this and just saw Channel 7 show the tackle where he was injured. Bearing in mind he didn't report soreness until the next day, how do they know that was where the injury occurred and not something he did 2 weeks ago or getting his leg over Sunday night? Or do they just make it up as they go along?

Mentally fragile timid performances in important games ad nauseam, no selection integrity whatsoever, returning to tired inept forward structure to accomodate a bearded bollard etc. etc. etc.

Surely you'd be a punnet of blueberries short of a fresh muffin break to even entertain this idiot being successful.

Southgate has the self awareness to quit and here we are lumped with a country hick who's will cling on to every dollar like it's his last.

 

[philreich]

Hinkley put it in the player's minds last Thursday that we were going to lose.

"We will need to be at our absolute best. .... It would be a massive win for us [if by some miracle we actually win]."

A successful coach instills a belief in their players that they can win. Not old loser Daddy Donuts though.

I still can't fathom why he said publicly that finals are scary - just before a qualifying final. No wonder our players choked on the big stage, after our coach and so called mentor fed their minds with that rubbish.

I think there's two different discussions here. What do we think ' should' happen, and what do we think 'will' happen. I don't think there's any relationship between the two at all. The footy landscape was so different last time we sacked a coach, I can't even remember it. The media is a totally different beast, the club is different... How can we talk about what the club 'should' do at all when we shouldn't have even extended him last year when we did and went on to go out in straight sets? There were other coaches in the market too! I just have zero faith in the club reacting to supporter feedback. I dunno, maybe they will. It would be a historic day for the club.

I wonder why England didn't re-sign him before they bottled the final. Can't have the uncertainty leading into it!

Surely it makes sense to lock him in so it wastes the years after that as well.

I think for me I still thought in 2020 and 2021 that Ken definitely didnt add anything, but we might be able to win in spite of him. As in the team might be able to overcome the shit coaching.

Its clear now its impossible though. He brings so much loserism in to everything he touches.

Ken Hinkley is the most successful coach in the game ever if we consider only those with an IQ of 65 and below. And yet, he's smarter than Koch, Davies and Richardson combined.

Of course it'll never happen, but we could win a flag, and Hinkley would say at his press conference, "It wasn't a bad win, but I thought we could have won by more. Hopefully we'll learn from those costly errors, and get better next year."

If we won a flag Hinkley would deliver self-indulgent diatribe. He may even start resorting to himself in the third person.

God it's dumb isn't it. Throwing away 150 years of brand recognition and they come up with that.

The bigger picture optimism had worn thin when we blew a 2nd season in a row in 2016. Literally every person who still supports Hinkley several years ago said something along the lines of "if he doesn't make the Grand Final next year he'd have to go" and then just abandon that opinion when the club doesn't sack him.

 

[GremioPower]

We lost to Brisbane (17th) and Carlton (18th) in 2015.

Losing to Richmond this week wouldn't even be the first time Ken has rolled out a failure against the Wooden spooner.

2015 was the last season we beat the top teams. But it’s also the last season we lost to bottom teams.

From 2016 onwards, Hinkley fully became “Bottom-10 Ken”.

Although I got it from David King, I like to call our coach Kenny Average and a poster had a go at me saying that it was unders to say that and that is not without merit but the sheer amount of media that Hinkley has where he really has no idea what he talking about or talking up the opposition or asking for Herculean efforts where you just need to play hard will really ultimately leave a legacy in many and varied ways that Hinkley is actually a terrible coach and the mindset that he expresses to the players is diabolical and completely against anything the Port Adelaide Football Club use to stand for.

To have him get away with it for so long just shows you how badly we are run and how badly Koch is as a footballing administrator.
